I assume we're talking about Wing 3.0 here -- when Wing stops at a 
breakpoint, all thread are stopped or at least threads executing python 
code.  Conversely when you continue to run, any and all threads should 
have the ability to run.

The question of what happens when you execute in debug mode is probably 
that other threads are still blocked, but probably they shouldn't be. 
Does this match what you're seeing?

Thanks,
